NPP only fold YAML list if indented

hello:
- hi
- hola

Unfortunately, NPP cannot fold the list under ‘hello’ unless the list elements are indented.
This is not right, as the YAML syntax for a list under a map, even without indentation is correct, and NPP should be able to fold it.

It’s not Notepad++ problem, you can rise this on Scintilla (for YAML parser).
https://sourceforge.net/p/scintilla/bugs/
I check some other tools and neither support fold/unfold without indentation.

But I warn you that in Scintilla the way of folding / unfolding is not treated as a bug, but depends on who does it in the lexer (sometimes you can switch it with options, but I don’t see this posibility in YAML lexer).

Only fold.comment.yaml exist.

Bug exist, you don’t need open new.
